The next day, as soon as the distant sky revealed a touch of white, Cao Ren led a large army to Chen Liucheng.

The official guarding the city hurriedly sent someone to report the matter, and when Wei Musheng learned about it, he hurried to the city tower.

From the top of the city down, the Cao army below was densely packed, and it was much bigger than yesterday's battle.

On closer inspection, in front of Cao's army were a group of unarmed civilians, a huge number of them, holding siege ladders in their hands, or dozens of people carrying battering rams that hit the city gates.

Could it be ......

Wei Musheng suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart.

"The defenders on the city tower tell me, these are the people of Jiyin and Chenliu, maybe your relatives are also inside, if you want them to live, just open the city gate for me!"

The vanguard officer of Cao's army shouted loudly under the city.

When the soldiers defending the city heard this, they all nervously stretched their necks and looked down, wanting to see if their relatives were also in Cao Jun's ranks.

Mean guys!

Wei Musheng hated and scolded in his heart, his face turned pale, and he clenched his fists.

Seeing the reaction from the castle tower, Cao Ren, who was riding on the back of the horse, was very satisfied, and the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a smile that was in his hands. He waved his hand forward, and fifty Cao soldiers escorted hundreds of old and weak women and children forward, until they reached the range that was almost close to the bow shooting distance of the city's head before stopping.

"Wu'er, hurry up and open the city gate, General Cao is a good man!"

"Zheng Lang, if you don't open the city gate today, our mother and son will die under this city, please open the city gate!"

"Daddy, the child doesn't want to die......"

"Woo~~"

Under the threat of Cao's soldiers, the women and children began to loudly persuade them to surrender, crying and crying miserable voices, which made the defenders on the city tower feel confused.

Among the defenders, someone seemed to have found his wife and children, ran from a distance, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Wei Musheng 'bang bang' and begged: "General Wei, please open the city gate!" The mother-in-law and the children of the villain are under the city, please show mercy and give them a way to live! ”

"General, please open the gates!"

The soldiers on the city tower were all moved, and nearly half of them knelt down and begged Wei Musheng to open the city gate.

They don't care who can take the city and rule it. What they care about is the lives of their families.

After hearing this, Wei Musheng did not waver in his heart, and scolded angrily with a straight face: "You wait for Hugh to talk nonsense, this is Cao Jun's plan, how can this general be fooled!" ”

After speaking, Wei Musheng asked the soldiers to immediately return to the place where they were guarding.

At this time, the soldier who had just pleaded for mercy couldn't hold it back, got up and rushed straight to the place where the drawbridge was lowered, pulled out the blade, and prepared to cut the rope that was pulled up, and give his baby a new way to live.

Wei Musheng's eyes were sharp, how could he easily succeed, snatched the short knife from the hand of the soldier next to him, rushed with an arrow, and directly slashed it to the ground, shot quickly and accurately, and killed him on the spot.

When the soldiers saw it in their eyes, they were all terrified in their hearts.

Wei Musheng didn't look at the corpse, because he knew very well that at this time, preaching would not have any effect, and only by relying on violence could they force them to submit.

Looking around, Wei Musheng still had his knife on the ground, making a crisp sound of 'clang', he had a calm face, and warned the surrounding soldiers in a cold voice: "Whoever dares to open the city gate without permission will be killed!" ”

Begging for no hope, the soldiers had no choice but to hang their heads and return to their respective posts.

Cao Ren looked up at the city below, and when he saw that no one opened the door for him, he was not annoyed, waved his hand, and continued to advance his battle plan.

Driven by Cao's soldiers, the people carrying flying ladders and battering rams began to charge forward.

"Archer, prepare!"

Wei Musheng gritted his teeth and ordered, staring at the bottom with his eyes fixedly fixed.

This is a war, and since it is a war, it does not matter whether there are good people or bad people, and there is no distinction between women and children and the common people, and all those who stand on the opposite side are enemies!

When the people entered the attack range, Wei Musheng's raised arm fell suddenly, and he shouted the order: "Release the arrow!" ”

Shout~

Woo Woo ~ On the tower of the city, only a few dozen arrows were shot down, and all of them fell softly in front of the people, and there was no damage at all.

Seeing this, Cao Ren laughed on horseback, and it seemed that Chen Liu was already in his pocket.

Wei Musheng saw that the soldiers couldn't bear to start, so he directly kicked a soldier to the ground, then grabbed his collar, lifted the soldier up, pressed it against the city wall, and shouted angrily: "I told you to release arrows!" Did you hear me? ”

The soldier was so frightened by Wei Musheng's fierce appearance that he trembled, and his voice trembled so much that he almost cried: "General, if you kill me, I can't do it either!" ”

In the past, they could kill other people. But now it's different, among these charging people, it is very likely that their relatives are hidden, as long as they are not wolf-hearted guys, who is ruthless enough to throw a sharp blade at their relatives.

Wei Mu was angry, threw the soldier to the ground, walked quickly to Zhang Miao, clenched his fists and pleaded: "Zhang Junshou, the situation is grim, please come forward to persuade these soldiers for me, let them cheer up and defend this city!" ”

Zhang Miao had great prestige in Chenliu County, and Wei Musheng believed that as long as Zhang Miao opened his mouth, he would definitely be able to reinvigorate these soldiers.

However, Zhang Miao shook his head, exhaled a long breath, and sighed helplessly: "What can the lower officials do, is it possible that the soldiers will attack these defenseless people?" Among these people, there may be their relatives, and the tiger poison does not eat children. General Wei, even if Da Sima wants to achieve great ambitions, he should not build on these innocent people......"

To outsiders, perhaps Zhang Miao's words are very benevolent. But to Wei Musheng's ears, it is the kindness of a woman, and there is no iron will that a soldier should have.

But he didn't blame Zhang Miao, after all, everyone has their own ambitions, not to mention that Zhang Miao didn't take the initiative to join Cao Jun, so it was already worth him to burn incense and worship Buddha.

"Zhao Touch, go and call all your own brothers!" Wei Musheng turned around and commanded loudly with the henchmen guards next to him.

When Lu Bu led the army to Heze, he left Wei Musheng with 1,000 soldiers of the army, and cooperated with the original defenders of Chenliu County, and it was enough to defend the city.

But no one expected that Cao Jun would avoid Lu Bujun's eyes and ears to attack Chen Liu.

Even with these thousand people, I will defend the city!

Wei Musheng's eyes were firm.

The siege ladder quickly set up the city wall, Cao Ren saw it from afar, and the smile on his face was even worse, he knew that the time was ripe, and ordered the soldiers of the three armies to immediately charge.

Come on!

The charging Cao soldiers roared and ran forward, mingling in with the people, and launched a fierce charge towards the city.

The rest of the people were coerced into battle, but anyone who retreated was immediately killed by the random arrows erected from behind; If you want to take the opportunity to escape from the side, the cavalry under Cao Ren's command will catch up with you with a knife, and there is no hesitation at all.

Without the suppression of the archers of the castle tower, the surging Cao army soon arrived at the city and climbed up the bamboo ladder along the erected bamboo ladder along the people.

The soldiers of the county town on the city tower did not dare to attack directly, and often dared to fight after confirming their appearance, so that they should have taken the initiative to face the attack, and fell into a very passive state.

The war drums under the city rumbled, and the morale of the Cao army besieging the city was great, if there was divine help.

In less than an hour, all parts of the city fell, and only Wei Musheng's location was still fighting and holding on.

In today's situation, everyone can see that just these 1,000 people can't hold this huge city.

"General Wei, let's withdraw, Chen Liujun can't hold it!" Zhang Miao came to Wei Musheng with an anxious expression and exhorted loudly.

Where there is life, there is hope.

Wei Musheng, who personally supervised the battle at the head of the city, looked back at Zhang Miao, his eyes were full of coldness and perseverance, and he said in a deep voice: "Since the lord handed over Chen Liujun to me, no matter how many people come, this general must also defend it!" ”

Zhang Miao saw that Wei Musheng was making a mistake at this time, and he had a headache, so he had to persuade him again: "Don't be stupid General Wei, if you don't leave, everyone will have to die here!" ”

Die?

Wei Musheng raised his eyebrows slightly, snorted playfully, showed a sneering smile, his tone was full of heroism, and the tiger roared: "Under the banner of Lu Zi, there are only generals who died in battle, and there are no cowards who have escaped from the battle!" ”

Chenliu County is an important hub connecting the lord's army and Luoyang, and it has a great stake. Other cities may be able to let go, but Chen Liujun ...... It must not fall into the hands of Cao Jun.

Although he didn't know how this Cao army bypassed the eyes of the lord, Wei Musheng had already made up his mind to stop the enemy with all his might.

Zhang Miao was so anxious that he stomped his feet, like an ant on a hot pot.

Wei Musheng shouted: "Zhao Touch! ”

The man who was blocking Cao Jun's arrival in the city trotted over, wiped the blood on his face, stood upright, and responded loudly: "Here!" ”

"You pick dozens of brothers with better skills to come out and take Zhang Junshou from the east gate." Wei Musheng said very calmly, Cao Ren has piled all his troops here, and it should be easy to break through in the east.

What's more, this is a war between Lu Jun and Cao Jun, and there is no need for Zhang Miao, a good old man, to be buried with him.

"What about you, General?"

"The brothers are fighting, and I can't leave them behind."

Wei Musheng tried his best to show an indifferent smile, and said it very easily.

For the first time in Wei Musheng, a man who has always been obedient to his words, he had a pair of red eyes, clenched his fists and pleaded: "General, you take Zhang Junshou away, let me stay to fight against Cao Jun, Zhao Touch is not afraid of death!" ”

Zhao Touch knew very well that staying here now was almost no different from sending him to death.

"It's an order!"

Wei Musheng's voice was very cold, if even he left, it was estimated that the city would be broken in less than half an hour. Only if he stays, the soldiers will have the strength to fight.

What if there will be a miracle!

Wei Musheng had some faint expectations in his heart, perhaps in his heart, whenever life and death were at stake, that figure would always appear in time to turn the tide.

"General Wei, do you think I, Zhang Mengzhuo, am a man who is afraid of death!"

Listening to the conversation between the two here, Zhang Miao's face turned red, as if he had been greatly insulted.

Wei Musheng shook his head and said solemnly to Zhang Miao: "Zhang Jun guards the chivalrous liver and courage, after this period of getting along, Wei is also deeply admired. Now I have arranged for someone to send the county guard out of the city, not to underestimate it, but to hope that you can convey the information here to the camp in Heze, so that the lord can take precautions. ”

"This ......"

Zhang Miao hesitated for a while, but finally sighed and said 'okay', nodding in agreement.

Hearing Zhang Miao's agreement, Wei Musheng got up from his seat, took the bloodstained blade in Zhao Tentacle's hand, and walked towards the front line of the fight against Cao's army.

At the same time, Zhao Touch also took Zhang Miao to prepare for retreat.

"Zhang Junshou." Wei Musheng shouted.

Hearing this, Zhang Miao turned his head and asked, "What else does General Wei have to advise?" ”

Wei Musheng paused, as if he didn't know where to start.

After a long time, he took a deep breath, controlled the emotions in his heart, and said to Zhang Miao with a smile: "If you see the general, please tell me about it, just say that Wei Musheng's greatest luck in this life is to be able to follow the general and fight side by side." In the next life, Wei Musheng is still willing to follow the lord. ”

The corners of Zhang Miao's eyes were a little sour when he heard this, what a good man!

Knowing that he couldn't convince Wei Musheng, Zhang Miao could only nod and agree, and said reluctantly: General, take care!

Zhao Touch escorted Zhang Miao down the city tower, and Wei Musheng walked towards the city head with a knife.

At this time, a soldier of Cao held the city wall with one hand and jumped in with his legs.

Burst!

Wei Musheng stepped forward, chopped off the head of the soldier with the blood-stained knife in his hand, stepped on the soles of his feet, and shouted loudly to the soldiers around him: "Brothers, are you afraid of death? ”

"Don't be afraid!"

The soldiers of the Lu army in the battle roared angrily.

"Good! It's all good! ”

Wei Musheng encouraged loudly, looking at the steady stream of Cao Jun, there was no fear, only endless fighting spirit.

The blade in his hand once again slashed down on the shoulder of a soldier who climbed the city, and Wei Musheng roared again and again: "Kill Cao Jun!" ”

"Kill Cao Jun!"

The soldiers of the Lu army, who were on the verge of despair, shouted in unison, and their morale was like a rainbow.

…………

Out of Dongcheng, Zhang Miao galloped about forty miles in the direction of Jiyin County, and happened to bump into the wolf cavalry camp that was hurrying forward.

Seeing Lu Bu in a mighty armor, Zhang Miao was like a life-saving straw, and he was very anxious: "General, go and save General Wei, Chen can't stay behind!" ”

When Lu Bu heard the news, he did not hesitate at all, and ordered to rush to Chenliu as quickly as possible.

At this time, the city of Chenliu County, the head of the city has been completely captured by the Cao army, the drawbridge is lowered, and the city gate is slowly opened.

Cao Ren, who had the chance to win, waved his hand, led the rest of the soldiers and quickly rushed into the city.

Because there were too many people climbing the city wall, they were in a panic and scurrying around, which greatly interfered with the battle and communication. Wei Musheng decisively abandoned the city tower, led the soldiers to retreat into the city, and fought to the death with Cao's army in the streets and lanes.

However, Cao's army outnumbered the defenders, and soon poured into the city to frantically wipe out the remnants of Lü's forces.

"The general of the Lu army is here!"

Somewhere in the city, there was a cry of surprise.

Hearing the news, more and more Cao soldiers came, and soon there were thousands.

Everyone knows that winning a general-level figure is far more generous than killing hundreds of pawns.

The enemy generals who were trapped in the middle of the alley were covered in blood, and they were gasping for breath at this time, and the eyes of Cao's soldiers and soldiers were full of greed for money.

With an order, Cao Jun besieged and killed like crazy.

More than 200 soldiers of the Lu Army, with Wei Musheng as the center, roared and launched a counterattack, their blood-stained faces covered with hideousness.

As time passed, more and more soldiers fell in pools of blood.

From more than 200 people at the beginning, to less than 100 people, and then from dozens of people, and then slowly to more than a dozen people, a few people......

In the end, only Wei Musheng was left alone.

But Cao Jun seems to be endless, and he can't kill him.

On the wide alleyway, corpses were everywhere, and blood flowed from them.

The roaring and earth-shattering shouts never stopped, and Wei Musheng, who was covered in blood, was still gritting his teeth and fighting, holding the snatched shield in his left hand and the blade with several cracks in his right hand, slashing at the Cao soldiers who rushed over.

He couldn't remember how many people he had killed, his mind was muddy, he just waved the weapon in his hand mechanically, and he was still fighting tenaciously with his strong willpower.

His arms were heavy and his eyelids were heavy, Wei Musheng had never felt so tired, and he wanted to rest.

But every time at this time, there will always be a voice in the bottom of my heart that rings again and again.

Hold on, have you forgotten the promise you made to your lord!

Yes, he hasn't seen the completion of the lord's great work yet.

How can it fall like this!

Pushing away the blade slashed in front of him, Wei Musheng held his breath and wanted to fight back, but at this moment, a strong sharp pain came from his waist.

A spear pierced into his waist from behind, Wei Musheng turned around and stared at the Cao soldier who had attacked him closely, the blade in his hand directly cut off half of his head, and the hot blood splashed Wei Musheng's face.

When he turned around, more than a dozen spears in front of him pierced his chest at the same time.

Burst!

Thick blood overflowed from his mouth, and the sword and shield in Wei Musheng's hand could no longer hold it, and fell to the ground with a clatter, and his whole body was pushed back by more than a dozen Cao soldiers.

He clearly felt that the blood in his body was constantly being lost.

Seeing this, Sergeant Cao in the rear knew that the opportunity had come, and the guy in his hand stabbed Wei Musheng directly in the back.

Phew!

Under the front and back attacks, Wei Musheng's body was full of gun barrels on all sides, like a large hedgehog.

Subsequently, dozens of spears were drawn at the same time.

Wei Musheng, who was covered in holes, fell to the ground like a piece of paper, he turned his head to look at the sword and shield not far away, and wanted to reach out to grab it, but his hands did not obey the call at all, and he remained motionless on the ground, as if out of touch.

He used the last strength of his life to straighten his head, and the sky above him, which was originally dim and gloomy, gradually brightened, and even the clouds were so white.

"Hey! Wei Musheng, don't sleep, it's time for us to go! The young man who was stroking the horse urged impatiently, and he looked like he was in his early twenties.

"Hurry up, don't keep the general waiting!" Song Xian on the other side is also exceptionally young.

In front of his vision, the tall man who was riding a horse on a forest path in the sunshine, only showing his back, suddenly turned around, beckoned to him with a smile, and shouted: "Mu Sheng, let's go together!" ”

Everything seems to have gone back to more than ten years ago.

He grinned and suddenly smiled.
